5. The scope is to see where you hit the target.
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 10:10 AM by BlueEyedSon

10. thanks
other than the way he is holding the weapon... that answers my question.

As far as the title of the .jpg? Ain't my deal, couldn't say, hadn't noticed. Fuck, that'll make the fur fly.

16. This is a demonstration of Firearm safety perhaps
or a contender for a Darwin award?

22. I wouldn't say scary as much as I'd say funny.
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 10:42 AM by resident bunnypants
This little punk bitch thinks he's scary. In reality though he's more likely to shoot himself in the ass. What about jag off #3 pretending to be in the military? All of these morons like to play together it seems and pretend they're other people.

6. The spotting scope...
isn't mounted to the rifle (if that's what you're thinking).

I'm wonder why the photo s named "psycho1.jpg". (I'm reasonably confident someone will be along shortly to explain it to us).

7. That's a lousy way to hold an AR-15
AR-15 barrels (other than very heavy target ones) are very flexible.

That left hand position is guaranteed to cause vertical stringing of shots. Much better to hold the off hand snugly up against the magazine well so it doesn't cause the barrel to warp. When I learned that in AR Shooting 101 it brought my 100-yard group size from about 12 inches down to 3 inches instantly.

The 20-round magazine is kind of unusual.

13. 20 round magazines are practically a must...
when shootng from the prone or from a rest or bi-pod. 30 rounders only get in the way if you get down low on the bench.

14. That is a "spotting scope".
It is used to see the holes in the target so one doesn't have to retrieve the target before shooting again. Adjustments can be made and he can shoot again more quickly. The scope is not attached to the gun. That is an optical illusion, kind of like the one that the wingnuts exploited when they claimed that the ATF agent was "pointing" his gun at Elian Gonzalez. Good demonstration of the fact that one doesn't need a photoeditor to "lie" with a photograph. Another example is the family photo with a telephone pole growing out of Uncle Ed's head.

17. heh, optical illusion

Like the one that made me wonder how (and why) anybody would shoot with a baseball cap visor covering his eyes. ;)

No, please, no ... not another thread about people with visual impairments and firearms ...

27. ok guys
fun is fun. But two things of note. Skinner has asked that we not discuss CU and I can respect that. I do think it was bad judgement for me to have posted the pic - I failed to realize it was identifiable - I was only curious as to the scope on front.

The other item, lets not abuse the folks over there. I don't like it when our policital rivals come in and nab our pics and mock them and I don't know that turn about is, in fact, fair play.

29. yes, in good gungeon fashion
we managed to skirt the topic effectively. I was just trying to do, what the idol of many at that other place might call, A Pre-emptive Strike.

30. I apologize. I've been gone for a long time. I just recently decided to
join in the fun. I saw certain things the other day that I thought were unfair, so I decided to play like "them". So I'll stop making fun of weirdos with problems. It is definitely not nice.
